Are Whites More Discriminated Against Than Blacks?

Originally posted by Alxandro Originally posted by Alxandro Being an Hispanic male I can tell that I've been discriminated against more than once in
my life time by both whitie and blackie. I was always man enough, always took it in stride, made the most of it and it always worked out for the
better in the long run. Not once did I ever cry about it, feel sorry for myself nor did I ever whine like a baby. But in my unbiased observation
in what goes on between whites and blacks, I can honestly say that yes, whites really are being discriminated against now, more so than blacks.

Please lol I live in California and you guys find ways to discriminate against white and black people all the time. Ever walked into a place that
requires someone to be bilingual in English and Spanish 99.9 percent of the employees are Hispanic Its their way around illegal hiring laws.And there
are countless programs for people of Hispanics decent. Now how many programs are for just white people only? Anyone have anything? Yeah thats what I
thought. Get real buddy

Before I say anything here I just want people to know I come from a very diverse Family filled with Whites, Blacks, Latinos and even one Lesbian. And
I grew up in a very diverse neighborhood in Southern Cali. I didn't have a clue about any kind of racism until I was in high school. True Fact. But
here is how I feel now.

I used to live in Southern California, but I moved out of state about 6 years ago. I missed my Family and moved back about a year ago and couldn't
believe the difference. It is a fact that there are no jobs for whites, not even fast food jobs for teenagers during the summer. There are no
programs and if you go to the emergency room, holy cow, it feels like you are in a doctors office in Mexico. And you are right, every job offer you
look at, you have to be bilingual.

And as far as discrimination, oh yes, I felt it while I was there. I was walking into a store one day and a Latino man called me a white bi**h, for
no reason. My daughters went to school there and were tormented by Latino girls calling them all kinds of names. Guess what the Principle of their
school said, just ignore them and try to make them feel welcome!! They are here from another Country so try and understand!! What??? So my
daughters were not protected and couldn't feel comfortable at school?

So yes, I can say I know what it feels like to be discriminated against for being white, and so do my daughters. Needless to say, we moved out of
California again.

Europeans don't get blamed for the same genocide they committed upon the native population of north america when some of them came to north america
and invaded it just because they are white. I think this thread, the whole issue is reaking with racist sentiments. shame on you who are crying about
finally giving the minorities equal work opportunities. those turn out to be the most dedicated and excellent, loyal to a company because they know
this job is like one in a million the chance to get it. Grow up you whiners. white man still runs $#!t

the sad truth is most of you guys are
ignorant and are stuck in the old racist mentality. the world is ever changing.

Finally giving minorities equal work opportunities?Where the hell have you been?That's like saying it's about time we allowed women to vote

The only post in this thread that's whiney as you put it is yours.I'm going to guess you're either black or hispanic.And if you claim you're
white..you're a liar.

I have many Family members who worked until they retired, at one job. And they worked just as hard as anyone. I am tired of the same old saying,
Mexicans work harder than whites. I did new construction plumbing, hard work for a chick. And I was proud to do it. So stop with the Mexicans work
harder.

I am also 1/4 Cherokee. I know what some of my Ancestors went through. I have scoured the Rolls just to piece that history together for my Family.
But you see, I can no longer apologize for what others did. I am sick to death with this racial division. The crimes against this race and that race
are way in the past. No one is any better than anyone else. We are all Human. I don't care what color a Person is, it's their integrity,
personality and values that matter.reply to post by 1ncegreat

P.S
There is no such thing as "white". The only whites are a bunch of inbred Anglo Scot Irish Americans(the ones responsible for slavery, Jim Crow and
Segregation; as well as acts of hatred and oppression against every other non WASP Caucasian ethnicity).

And I know my history; ignorant, callous bigots like you, are what got us into this mess in the first place.

White, Black, Red, Yellow or Bronze. It doesn't matter. The only thing people care about anymore in this world is gold, and how much you have. You
have gold, no one discriminates against you. They might slander you unto the end of the world, but they'll still wipe your butt for a bar or two.

It took a Harvard and Tufts study to figure this one out? Let's see - the politicians, the wealthy, and academia all out of touch with the masses.
They are leading us where? China survived a cultural revolution, didn't they?

People who say Mexicans work hard,they're making excuses for the ones that are in US illegally.Such as most landscaping businesses that hire them even
though they can't speak english.Yeah,don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about or call me a bigot because you know exactly what I mean.If I
was going to a country legally..you better believe I'd learn their language.

I'm of the belief that whites get more upset the more ground is made toward true equality. (I'm white, btw). It seems to me they are equating
discrimination with losing an advantage and special treatment.

I wish I knew what this 'advantage and special treatment' was that apparently I am losing.

Perhaps you can explain?

The right to live amongst your own kind. Apparently only blacks, hispanics, asians and muslims are allowed to have their own communities. This is
about denying Caucasians the right to self determination. The people your arguing against want to see Caucasians go extinct. And they are actively
working towards that end. You cannot argue against genocidal bigots, you can only fight against them.

I had to respond to this.I have had this happen to me.As I've said in this thread I'm white.I've been in black/hispanic neighborhoods and have had the
same thing happen.They all say the same thing."What you doing here,white boy?" Or "What you doing in my neighborhood,cracker?"

ETA : Of course this only happens when they're in groups.It seems if you're out numbered they tend to talk smack.It never happens when I pass a random
black/hispanic person.
